Pull x86 pti fixes from Thomas Gleixner: "A small set of fixes for the meltdown/spectre mitigations: - Make kprobes aware of retpolines to prevent probes in the retpoline thunks. - Make the machine check exception speculation protected. MCE used to issue an indirect call directly from the ASM entry code. Convert that to a direct call into a C-function and issue the indirect call from there so the compiler can add the retpoline protection, - Make the vmexit_fill_RSB() assembly less stupid - Fix a typo in the PTI documentation" * 'x86-pti-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: x86/retpoline: Optimize inline assembler for vmexit_fill_RSB x86/pti: Document fix wrong index kprobes/x86: Disable optimizing on the function jumps to indirect thunk kprobes/x86: Blacklist indirect thunk functions for kprobes retpoline: Introduce start/end markers of indirect thunk x86/mce: Make machine check speculation protected

Pull x86 kexec fix from Thomas Gleixner: "A single fix for the WBINVD issue introduced by the SME support which causes kexec fails on non AMD/SME capable CPUs. Issue WBINVD only when the CPU has SME and avoid doing so in a loop" [ Side note: this patch fixes the problem, but it isn't entirely clear why it is required. The wbinvd should just work regardless, but there seems to be some system - as opposed to CPU - issue, since the wbinvd causes more problems later in the shutdown sequence, but wbinvd instructions while the system is still active are not problematic. Possibly some SMI or pending machine check issue on the affected system ] * 'x86-urgent-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: x86/mm: Rework wbinvd, hlt operation in stop_this_cpu()

Pull irq fix from Thomas Gleixner: "A single fix for the new matrix allocator to prevent vector exhaustion by certain network drivers which allocate gazillions of unused vectors which cannot be put into reservation mode due to MSI and the lack of MSI entry masking. The fix/workaround is to spread the vectors across CPUs by searching the supplied target CPU mask for the CPU with the smallest number of allocated vectors" * 'irq-urgent-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: irq/matrix: Spread interrupts on allocation

x86: Use __nostackprotect for sme_encrypt_kernel

2018-01-21T01:22:54+00:00

Commit bacf6b499e11 ("x86/mm: Use a struct to reduce parameters for SME PGD mapping") moved some parameters into a structure. The structure was large enough to trigger the stack protection canary in sme_encrypt_kernel which doesn't work this early, causing reboots. Mark sme_encrypt_kernel appropriately to not use the canary.

alpha/PCI: Fix noname IRQ level detection

2018-01-21T00:22:36+00:00

The conversion of the alpha architecture PCI host bridge legacy IRQ mapping/swizzling to the new PCI host bridge map/swizzle hooks carried out through: commit 0e4c2eeb758a ("alpha/PCI: Replace pci_fixup_irqs() call with host bridge IRQ mapping hooks") implies that IRQ for devices are now allocated through pci_assign_irq() function in pci_device_probe() that is called when a driver matching a device is found in order to probe the device through the device driver. Alpha noname platforms required IRQ level programming to be executed in sio_fixup_irq_levels(), that is called in noname_init_pci(), a platform hook called within a subsys_initcall. In noname_init_pci(), present IRQs are detected through sio_collect_irq_levels() that check the struct pci_dev->irq number to detect if an IRQ has been allocated for the device. By the time sio_collect_irq_levels() is called, some devices may still have not a matching driver loaded to match them (eg loadable module) therefore their IRQ allocation is still pending - which means that sio_collect_irq_levels() does not programme the correct IRQ level for those devices, causing their IRQ handling to be broken when the device driver is actually loaded and the device is probed. Fix the issue by adding code in the noname map_irq() function (noname_map_irq()) that, whilst mapping/swizzling the IRQ line, it also ensures that the correct IRQ level programming is executed at platform level, fixing the issue.
